english have a difficult and, generally speaking, dysfunctional (怪异的) relationship with clothes.their main problem is that they have a desperate need for rules, and are unable to get along without them.this helps to explain why they have an international reputation for dressing in general very badly, but with specific areas of excellence, such as highclass mens suits, ceremonial costumes, and innovative (革新的) street fashion.in other words, we english dress best when we are “in uniform”you may be surprised that i am including “innovative street fashion” in the category of the uniform.surely the parrothaired punks (朋克摇滚乐迷) or the victorian vampire goths are being original, not following rules？its true that they all look different and eccentric (古怪的) but in fact they all look eccentric exactly in the same way.they are wearing a uniform.the only truly eccentric dresser in this country is the queen, who pays no attention to fashion and continues to wear what she likes, a kind of 1950s fashion, with no regard for anyone elses opinion.however, it is true that the styles invented by young english people are much more eccentric than any other nations street fashion.we may not be individually eccentric, apart from the queen, but we have a sort of collective eccentricity, and we appreciate originality in dress even if we do not individually have it.another “rule” of behavior i had discovered was that it is very important for the english not to take themselves too seriously, to be able to laugh at themselves.however, it is well known that most teenagers tend to take themselves a bit too seriously.the goths, in their scary black costumes, certainly look as if they are taking themselves seriously. but when i got into conversation with them, i discovered that they too had a sense of humor.i was once chatting to a goth in the full vampire costume with a white face, deep purple lipstick, and black parrothair.i saw he was also wearing a tshirt with “goth”“why are you wearing that？”i asked.“in case you dont realize im a goth，” he answered, pretending to be serious.we both burst out laughing.4what can we know about the english people?athey need rules to dress

walk away? many people would give in to coldness, go about their business and just do nothing. so it was a big surprise when about 100 bystanders got together recently to move a bus in east london to help a cyclist trapped under it. a video of the incident went viral on social media.according to zoheb, a driver who stopped his car to take part in the rescue, about five people gathered to move the bus. he says, “there was no chance we could do it; it was more an invitation for other people to help, really.”the_initiative_(主动能力)_paid_off. diners from nearby restaurants joined in. there wasnt much coordination but it didnt take long to develop a collective understanding of what the objective was.spontaneous (自发的) cooperation among strangers doesnt happen often. people in a crowd are not sure what to do they dont have a plan. its one of the reasons why bystanders often do nothing, according to dr.mark levine, professor of social psychology at exeter university in britain. “the presence of others can prevent you from helping，” he says.“the key to positive group behavior，” levine explains, “is building a sense of shared identity.” action has to be decided quickly, levine says. “the longer you leave it, the harder it is to make a decision. then you kind of think well, actually i probably couldnt have done anything anyway.”but the people who took the initiative like zoheb might make a difference. the cyclist ended up in hospital and the images of the collective effort might inspire others to more acts of unity.语篇解读：本文由一则路人齐心救助被困自行车骑手的新闻故事引发思考，为什么大多数人在面对事故时选择冷漠和旁观？由此鼓励更多的人站出来采取行动。8which of the following is true when the incident happened in paragraph 1?afew people paid attention to this.bmany

from nearby restaurants joined in.”可知，最初上前帮忙的人手是不够的，但他们的主动行为发挥了作用，附近更多的人陆续加入到帮忙的队伍中来。pay off意为“取得成功；奏效”。10what should people do when such an incident happens according to levine?await for others to offer help first.bcall on everybody present to take action.cleave the problem to professional rescuers.dbuild a sense of shared identity and act quickly.解析：选d细节理解题。由第五段中的“the key to positive group

inspire others to more acts of unity”可知，类似这样的共同努力会激励更多的人参与到这样的事件中来。故选a项。由“the cyclist ended up in hospital”可知，被困者住院而非康复，故排除b项；c项中的makes no difference与文中最后一段的“make a

plant in march 2017 in scotland. it hopes to roll out the technology onshore and at sea, building systems with the capacity to produce “hundreds of megawatts” of power within the decade. the company believes the technology could reduce the cost of wind energy. and it predicted that kite power would cost so little that developing countries would be more likely to use it to free themselves off polluting carbonheavy energy sources. a spokesman ainsworth for kite power solutions said the technology could decrease the cost of offshore wind energy, meeting the need for governments efforts to reduce carbon emissions. he said the technology was easy to fix and maintain, meaning it could be used in deep water, on floating structures far from shore. “if we do that, it opens up a global deep water offshore wind market，” he said.the technology could control rising co2 emissions in the developing world, where the need to save money forces people to resort to polluting technologies such as diesel. the company has tested the technology on a small scale in essex and will move its headquarters to glasgow to prepare for next years launch. it has won planning permission for a 500 kw demonstration system.the uk.s green energy trade body, renewableu.k., welcomed the technology but warned it was not a_silver_bullet. the deputy chief executive maf smith said，“this is an ambitious project to develop wind power at extraordinary heights and it shows the level of new ideas within the renewable industry. kite power is at an early stage of development and it will take time to see how the technology progresses. anyway, we will need a wide range of energy sources in the future to meet our needs in an environmentally friendly way.”语篇解读：本文主要介绍了风筝发电这项新技术的优势，即成本低、易于安装和维护等，但有人提出相反观点。所以依靠风筝发电技术解决我们的能源需求问题仍有很长的路要走。12what is the most important advantage of kite power?aits low costs.bits high qualities.cits great usefulness. dits

shore. if we do that, it opens up a global deep water offshore wind market， he said.”可知，这项技术易于安装和维护，如果真的那么做，这会开拓出一个新市场。由此可知，安斯沃思认为这项技术便于使用且效能很高。故选b项。 14the underlined phrase “a silver bullet” probably means that using this technology to meet our needs is not _.ascientific bcomplicatedcsimple dtraditional解析：选c词义猜测题。根据文章最后一段中的“welcomed the technology”可知，英国可再生能源协会表示欢迎这项新技术，but表转折，再结合该组织的副首席执行官玛夫史密斯所说的话“kite power is at an early stage of development and it will take time to see how the technology progresses.”可知，风筝发电尚处于早期，看到这项技术如何进展还需很长一段时间。由此可推测，was not a silver bullet在此表示要想运用这项技术解决我们对能源的需求问题并不是一件简单的事情。故选c项。15what is the authors purpose in writing the text?ato argue for cleaner energies.bto
